To all you lovely donors out there who have already let me know you will be donating an item:Please post your auction in the Auction Subforum NOW!!!

If you haven't run your auction item past one of The Committee™ [i.e. Candy, LoweTek, Skrub, absinthe, Fris or BlessYouBoys] please contact us before posting. Sometimes we have several interesting options for the goods, other than as an auction item.

I aplologize for not getting to each of you personally for this, but the interest of time I am going to post the auction template you should use when posting your auction item thread. Please begin a new thread for each auction item. I'll try to get to each of you in the next day or so, but for now please post your items, ASAP. Even if some of your information is incomplete, please post what you can. We wold like to have as much as possible up for previewing. If you didn't post an auction last year, here is an example.

IF YOU HAVE AN ITEM YOU'D LIKE TO DONATE, please email me at: [email protected]If you have any questions, please also feel free to PM me.

Thanks again to everyone who has already donated, or are planning to - or are planning on spending lots of money winning auction items! The more, the better.
